Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Javier bellowed, "That miscarriage left Alyssa unable to conceive again! Do you really want to marry Jasper to such a woman?
Jasper is now the only heir of our Beckett family.
"If you let him marry Alyssa, who will inherit the tens-of-billion-dollar family business? Betty? Lauren?
Are they up to the task?"
Jasper felt as if his heart were torn open.
"How ... How can that ..." Newton was completely dumbfounded. He felt as though he was bleeding inside.
"It's her own problem. Why should we go down with her? Blame her bad luck. Blame her horrible fate!"
"It's not like that!" Suddenly, Ben, his forehead covered in cold sweat, rushed forward and shouted, "Things are not like what
you're saying!"
The three Becketts were all shocked.
Ben had been with them for more than 30 years. He had a calm personality and was meticulous in his work. He had never been
so impulsive.
"Mr. Gorham, do you ... do you know something?"
Jasper keenly sensed Ben's hesitation to speak. With red eyes, he urgently asked, "You do know something, right?"
Ben tightly closed his eyes, tears of guilt streaming down his face. The next second, with a thud, he suddenly bent both knees
and knelt in front of them.

"Mr. Gorham!"
"Ben!"
Both shocked and anxious, Newton repeatedly patted his thighs. "Get up now! Say what you have to say. What are you doing?"
Jasper strode forward, wanting to help Ben up, but he stubbornly refused to get up.
"It's my fault ... It's all my fault ... I should have spoken up earlier ... If I had spoken up, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Jasper wouldn't have
reached this point ..."
Ben choked up, speaking intermittently, "Back then ... when Ms. Alyssa had a miscarriage, I was there."
Jasper's pupils violently trembled. "What did you say? You were there?"
"Ben! What are you talking about? How were you there?" Newton was on edge. "You usually talk fluently. Why are you
stammering now? Speak quickly!"
"The car accident ... It was because of that car accident!"
Ben apologized to Alyssa in his mind for not being able to keep the secret for her anymore.
"Car ... accident?"
Jasper's heart raced. Suddenly, he remembered the event from nearly three years ago.
When he returned from abroad, Newton had been hospitalized due to a car accident. Alyssa wasn't there to take care of him.
Instead, she said something happened to her family. She then disappeared for a while.

"Christmas ... Was it that Christmas?" Newton also immediately reacted.
Ben nodded heavily. His voice was choked with tears. "Three years ago, on Christmas, Mr. Javier and Mr. Jasper, along with the
ladies, were not in Solana City ... Only Ms. Alyssa was here. She braved the snow to spend the holiday with you."
Jasper's heart tightened, feeling the air thinning around him and making it difficult to breathe.
"You wanted to visit Madam Doris, so Ms. Alyssa drove you. Later, you went to the seaside, where you used to frequently date
Madam Doris when you were young.
"Everything was beautiful that day, but on the way back, you had a car accident."
Ben shed tears and bowed his head. "Ms. Alyssa was injured, too. Yet, she did everything she could to get you to the hospital.
After that, she experienced severe abdominal pain. Then, I saw ... blood flowing from under her skirt ..." "My poor Alice! Why are
you so foolish?" Newton regretted deeply, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.
